Kobo UK titles
Massive loss of Anne McCaffrey and Larry Niven titles.
Is it idiot publishers giving Amazon an exclusive, or just loss of UK & Ireland rights?

Some seem to be unchanged on Amazon UK.

Doing a search on Kobo UK, I get 57 results for Anne McCaffrey. Doing the same search on Kobo US, I get 73 results. I filtered out audiobooks.

I've not looked at Larry Niven.

67 Anne McCaffrey on Amazon.co.uk (author page, language = English, format = Kindle). 83 on Amazon.com.

It may be something to do with Penguin UK.

It seems to be more something to do with Kobo; both stores are missing 10 books (which I leave to the imagination).

At Amazon, you can sometimes get results in a language other then English. Did you check that they are all English books at Amazon.com?

I just had a look and it's actually 81 books. 2 are incorrect. The Peter Pan book and the Political Economy book. are incorrectly listed.

For me using Amazon.ca, a search on Anne McCaffrey, english, kindle came up with 107 results. Scanning through those results, 36 of them were not by Anne McCaffrey or Todd McCaffrey. Books such as Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing With Dragons Margaret Weis's Mistress of Dragons, The Constitution of Canada by The Founding Fathers.

Switching to clicking on Anne McCaffrey in the author list for a book, english, kindle dropped the number of books to 81 though this included books such as Principles of Political Economy by Wilhelm Roscher and Peter Pan by James M. Barrie and several anthologies in which an Anne McCaffrey story is found.

I did find it rather humorous that both Kobo and Amazon (.ca and .com) included Peter Pan in a list of Anne McCaffrey books.

Oddly a quick Google search for an Anne McCaffrey bibliography came up with several listings that I found better including WikiPedia's entry.

To me, this pretty much proves that if you want decent search results, use a search engine that is not tied to the store you are searching.
